"Marvell has once again set the benchmark for the rest of the industry with the world's first 1.5 GHz tri-core processor, delivering dual stream 1080p 3D video and 3D graphics performance with quad unified shaders for 200 million triangles per second delivered on ultra-low-power, long battery life smartphones and tablets,"

We have yet to see a dual core device as of yet and now this news breaks. With the smartphone technology evolving at such a dizzying pace we may be retiring our PC's and Mac's pretty soon. So who wants one?
